A song by Tool. The song is often interpreted as being about commercialism. "Not enough, I need more, nothing seems to satisfy...I dont want it, I just need it, to breathe, to feel, to know im alive." This is referring to the way people in modern society let material possessions control their mental states. "Constant over-stimulation numbs me but I would not want it any other way" is referring to the way advertisements have penetrated every last corner of our lives (constant overstimulation) however people do not care because they do indeed attach their well-being to their possessions (but I would not want it any other way). The analogy in the song is indeed about fisting. As the song progresses it gets deeper ("finger/elbow/shoulder deep inside the border line") referring to the slow, gradual transformation society has made to consumerist values. A very good song on a very good CD by a very good band.

I heard the song "stinkfist" and now I refuse to listen to any lesser bands.

The title of the song by Tool is actually one word. The stinkfist analogy "desensitized to everyting, what became of subtlety" can be used to compare the way things were about fifty years ago to the way they are today. The song talks about digging deeper to find a deeper meaning.

1. An extreme variation on stink finger. Instead of merely your finger smelling after the act of vaginal or anal fingering, your whole fist smells after the act of vaginal or anal fisting. Make sure all in your vicinity smell the proof.

2. An extreme variation on stinkpalm or stink palm. Instead of merely rubbing the inside of your hand down your asscrack and exposing it to dingleberries and ass-sweat and then proceeding to shake someone's hand or touch someone's food, you actually stick you WHOLE FIST into your rectum and proceed to shake someone's hand or touch someone's food. In reality, this act is much more self-detrimental than stinkpalm, as you actually have to stick your fist in your own ass to perform it. Extremely disgusting.

A means to show ones distain for another, on greeting, by first secretly rubbing ones own hand around the perineum area before shaking hands; thereby causing transference of your ‘stink’ to their ‘fist’.

Yeah, my ex’s new boyfriend is a real tit; still I got my own back by giving the stink-fist when I first met him at their wedding.
